To JB or not to JB, that is the question!

Hi,

I plan to be an excellent and amazing new stunt kite builder! But for now I'm just a very noob one as I've just started by the end of last year : )

Recently, I managed to try a build for indoor purpose:

An Ulzburger's Escape at 0.73 ratio, with a custom paneling mylar-icarex-dyneema.

The building was quite clumsy, a consequent amount of mistakes, sawing, unsawing, trying again..

But the result exceeds my expectations. It flies like a charm and has a quite nice look.

 

Now it's the moment to find it a name!

..and I thought, regarding the "sexy stockings" the paneling suggests, that this could be kind of a JB tribute. Actually, in french, the "sexy stockings" is called a "bas résille" which is pronounced "Barresi".. For this only reason (and also because having a Barresi reference in it's name will surely improve it's flying abilities)^^ I wanted to call it "The Barésille tribute" (of course it's only for private purpose, nothing commercial here!).

But I don't want to make a faux pas.. And can't be sure that John will find this funny and acceptable.. That's why I allow myself to ask the question here.

Best regards and thanks a lot for this forum.
